1. Because you’re not willingly eating the bugs or switching to plant based protein like “Beyond Meat”, the Bolsheviks in the California legislature have devised a way to push you in that direction... by starving the dairy and cattle industry like they’re the Kulaks

2. It’s no secret that the left wants you to get off eating racist red meat or drinking white milk. Whatever the reason, they’ll find one, whether it’s “stopping climate change” due to methane from cow fart emissions or finding new “sustainable solutions” for a growing population

3. Really, they’d like a weakened and easily controlled population who needs to buy pharmaceuticals to artificially maintain their health that they used to get from real food and animal protein, but I digress...

4. They are also really into so-called “renewable” or “alternative” energy sources that they mandated they reach certain goals of production, which on its own isn’t such a bad thing, until you realize what they’ll have to impose to make that happen.

5. CA leads the way in forcing their solutions through legislation. Sneaky sneaky legislation. They’ve proposed AB2959, which on its face would go mostly overlooked by the plebes, but is 4D chess in its outcomes

6. Currently, dairy farmers and cattle ranchers feed their livestock byproducts from other industries, like the leftover “bio waste” from breweries. To them, it’s not waste, it’s a nutritional food source that would otherwise go to waste.

7. The farmers buy this waste from these other industries and “recycle” it to feed their cows, to the tune of literally millions of pounds of byproducts. It would shock you how much bio waste they use. It’s a win-win for everybody.

Not so fast.

8. AB2959 requires businesses that create the byproduct to PAY another government crony company to take their millions of pounds of byproduct to dispose of it in bio mass landfills

9. This does two things

First, it starves the dairy and cattle industry of an inexpensive & bountiful source of nutritional food for their livestock

Second, it diverts the byproduct to the crony alt energy companies that they mandated exist, subsidized by the byproduct producer

10. California is more than Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Sacramento. We have a HUGE rural ag industry of family farms and ranches that the urbanites have control over legislatively. This will destroy them, and have rippling effects to the meat and dairy industry nationwide.

11. They will make you will eat the bugs, whether you like it or not
